Hi All,
I'm trying very hard to search for the best method/option for rooting my Samsung GT-I9192 Duos(India Version) but not found any as yet.
Not sure if I have knox or not(is there is way to find out?) but I would prefer an option which does not void my warranty. Although if I have to, I don't mind foregoing the warranty. Also, I need only root - custom kernel, etc may not be required, Thanks
Can you please suggest the best and simplest method/option(preferably one click) to root my device having the following specs:
Model: GT-I9192
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9192DDU1BML1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-1971249
[email protected] #1
Sat Dec 14 21:59:36 KST 2013
Build number: JDQ39.I9192DDU1BML1
Appreciate any help urgently, Thanks!!!
BS
well if you don't mind sending your info to some server in china [as some ppl claim] kngo root is your safest bet and you do have knox, you can always check it by going in download mode and see it if the word knox is there, which it will be in your case , btw after using kingo root you cannot boot into recovery you have to flash a custom recovery which will also trip your knox . or you might get lucky as me on the same build as you , rooted via kingo on I9192DDU1BML1 , deleted all Knox files [ search this forms for which files to delete] , flashed cwm recovery , flashed custom kernels, and still din't trigger knox only god knows why as i can't figure it out.
there are some other methods like saferoot , just do a search on this forums.
The BML1 has knox and saferoot does not work on BML1. Kingo works fine and I have rooted the BML1 on mine using Kingo
Sent from my GT-I9192
Some how Kingo refuses to work with my device. At first with Kies installed, it would connect to my device and get stuck at 0% on the "Downloading Device Driver Software Screen". I waited hours but it was still stuck at 0%.
After reading up on their support page, I downloaded and installed the drivers manually. But now Kingo wont connect to my device.
It does initiate a connection when I plug the cable/device in USB but after a few seconds, its back to the home screen saying "Device Not Connected".
I have tried the following drivers with/without Kies 3:
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.24.0.exe
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe
What am I doing wrong? Hope there is another option/method if Kingo doesnt work out, Thanks again.

Did you turn on USB Debugging mode?
You have to first enable the Developer Options before you can access USB debugging
Setting>About Device>Tap on Build Number 7 times until the screen shows Developer Options is enabled

Hi... Yes, developer mode was turned on before starting the procedure.
What else could it be? Thanks
I have no clue. Do you have another Samsung phone to prove the setup on the computer? The Samsung drivers can recognize any Samsung phone if they have been installed properly.

Yes, I did root a Note 2 successfully with the same computer/setup but another/manual method(using Odin) with only Kies installed. I guess all required device drivers get installed when you install kies? This is the first time i'm using Kingo though.
Will this method work for my device? The only concern is I don't see I9192DDU1BML1 mentioned anywhere. Thanks

^ this method did work for me on the earlier firmware before BML1, but i lost my wifi so had to flash a custom kernel , dunno if it will work for ML1 as for usb try dialing *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.
had the same issue with kies and s4 drivers this sorted it out .

Thanks a lot. Only MTP was checked, I checked the 2nd option MTP+ADB and rebooted the device. Hope this resolves the issue.
Unfortunately, I don't have sufficient privileges on this computer so will have to wait another 2 hours to verify it on my computer
This worked and now I have ROOT!!! Thanks a million everyone, especially dovakinn for that last master stroke!!!!
Is there a way to remove or delete the Supersu icon from the menu? I dont want to uninstall it, just hide the icon without using the native hide/unhide feature. Thanks Again!

Supersu way - SuperSu - Settings - Launcher icon - Invisible from launcher

Thanks SilviuMik. I got the following pop up as soon as I clicked on SuperSu - "Samsung KNOX has been detected. this might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX?"
Should I say OK or Cancel?
Srry but Im completely new to this KNOX business. Many Thanks

I know you are already removed/hide your super su icon . But here is also some option
Just install super user elite and switch to ghost mode .
Install nova launcher latest version and hide app from the menu .

Yes I have already hidden the Supersu, thanks though for the alternative approach.
A couple of observations though, which may or may not be significant:
1) While installing SuperSu, there was a pop-up on the device which said something like "SuperSu has tried to make changes to your device and was blocked. It gave only 2 options I think (a) Block now or (b) Inform me again after 30 days. I chose option b.
2) I chose to block KNOX when it asked me as soon as I started SuperSu and It gave me a success message.
Now my question is - Will this 30 day counter give a prompt to block supersu again after 30 days?
If someone chooses Yes, then what will happen? Will the device become unrooted or apps needing root become dysfunctional?
I did block KNOX later so shouldn't all these notifications etc not come up anymore. Thanks!!

Once this is done, I managed to gain back the first two options of "Lock Screen" and "No Lock Screen".
Hope this helps you!

That's because reactivation lock keeps you from overriding anything even via Odin. Don't see why you cant reset your password. It send you a recovery link to your email. Which you should have access to unless the phone is either stolen from the original owner or you bought it off of someone and they left their account on it.

Okay, so step 1 go to gmail and register that email as a new account, step 2 go to samsung and reset the password step 3 check that gmail you created for the recovery link step 4 profit.
If that email is actual already a real gmail account then you have a paperweight on your hands.

I want to root my Redmi Note 8 ginkgo, so for one of the steps I need to register my phone as unlocked using the 'Mi Unlock status' tool found in the developer settings. When I try to do that, it gives back this message: 'Couldn't verify, wait a minute or two and try again'. I have already relogged my Mi account and did a factory reset, but it still only gives out the same message. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like my entire mobile data is borked. That also explains why it can't connect to Xiaomi servers. I'm with T-Mobile NL for my sim card. Does that provider have problems with their APN config in MIUI?

Hey Bro Congrat abut unlocking your device.
Pls if u can explain to me how you make that happenbecause i still have the same issue i tried all methods but it won't be unlocked.
Thank u
Hi!
I tried to remove a bunch of Xiaomi and Google bloatware on my Redmi Note 9 Pro. I folllowed the lines of https://www.allaboutxiaomi.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-without-root-on-your-xiaomi-redmi-device/ and removed what I thought would be inoffensive removals: Mi Video, Mi Sound, Mi Notes and stuff like that.
Now my phone boots to recovery, leaving the options of Wipe Data and Connect with MIAssistant. Tha latter does not work - I don't know why because I have a MI account.
Device is not unlocked.
Any help would be appreciated. Of course I would like NOT to erase the data.
Best,
benedict
Hello, I'm not 100% sure, but you could reflash the system with MiFlash and choose below you want to keep your data!
if you were unlocked, you could push adb the security center apk in TWRP, or adb sideload, but you can't you need it unlocked to do that.
Seems factory reset is the answer.
Is this the legit website?

you didn't read all documentation about removing bloatware and just followed some kid random guide online, and now you will factory reset. The End of movie. if i were you after doing this i will unlock device to have control over it because as i wrote before about adb sideload pushing etc.
You're right. Thing is I looked a bit in the forums here but couldn't find a good guide.
Any idea though why MiAssistant doesn't work?
About unlocking: that required a data wipe so I was lazy to do it properly... My bad.
There's no place for lazy people when customizing device man, apps can be reinstalled Gstore saves history of them so it is easy to see last installed, music is on spotify or smth like that, images docs etc just transfer to laptop, Yes for unlocking device you will have to factory reset again. Miassistant never works i dont know what is it for XD as soon as i got my 9s i unlocked it and thats the end of movie full control over a device i bought with my money.

The truth is always harsh to accept. backup is made before doing something to the device, in your case your only way is to factory reset.
Can you reboot to Fastboot ?
